Way to go Taylor! We are all so pround of you, not only because your took these first major steps but because of the fortitude and personal strength that you have demonstrated through this entire ordeal. None of us can ever imagine what you have endured to take these steps but you have set the example for all of us to follow in your tracks. Would you please watch out for your dad on your daily adventures outside the hospital, we all know who the mature and responsible person is between the two of you. I did not know there was a problem with the identification of that flowering tree,of course it is a magnolia tree. Quite common in the south, where they even grow wild. The wood is ideal for smoking "kroc" meat and making squaw candy from snakes.

Well that brought tears to my eyes. Tay I dont even know what to say...your a fighter and an insperation...I agree with Grandpa...keep your dad out of trouble. Love ya both and I can not wait to see your new legs...for this I say dinner and a movie!! (notice V just wants to put you to work. watch her she did it to Donny too. Thanks V one less body under my roof...you rock!)

Magnolia, Stan. WHERE have you been for the last 3 days? You could've answered that Tuesday! We discovered that Hot Topic is a few "bus changes" away, and she didn't care to confuse her old man like that - we might end up in St. Lois!Contrary to what most would think, the mocha girl I like is a guy! Not Morgan Fairchild, but good espresso, no less. he still got my $5 (in tips, alone)this week.
